Sudan mourns the death of Ambassador Najwa Gadaheldam who died from the coronavirus in Tel Aviv; South Sudan's vice president tests positive for COVID-19, the fourth senior government official to contract the virus; and researchers at the Juba-based Sudd Institute say the South Sudan government has done very little to implement preventative measures against the disease.

President Salva Kiir appoints key ministers in the Transitional Government of National Unity; leaders of the South Sudan Opposition Alliance question the allocation of ministerial positions to its members; and analysts at the Juba-based Sudd Institute talk about the newly-formed unity government and the future of South Sudan.

On February 22nd, two long time foes, President Salva Kiir and Riek Machar signed a power-sharing agreement to formally end South Sudan's brutal six-year civil war. The accord determined that Machar and other opposition leaders would be vice-presidents in a new government of national unity.  The civil war in South Sudan broke out in December 2013, when President Salva Kiir accused his-then vice president Riek Machar of fomenting a coup. The fighting escalated very quickly and took on ethnic dimensions as well. Over the years there have been different attempts at peace, but each attempt has failed which is why there is so much riding on this February 22nd agreement.  On the line with me to discuss this peace agreement is Jok Madut Jok. He is a professor at the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs at Syracuse University and a senior analyst with the Sudd Institute, a public policy center based in Juba, South Sudan.  This episode is supported, in part, by a grant from the Carnegie Corporation of New York to feature African perspectives on peace and security issues in Africa.     https://www.undispatch.com/
